Additionally, we provide practical hands-on training to reinforce these principles, ensuring you can effectively create distance to secure your own safety or that of others.

The Level I course covers various essential topics, including proper body positioning, verbal and physical response tactics, characteristics of aggressor behavior, effective space management, threat assessment, mental health considerations, and more.
